Paris’ Olympic venues are providing the perfect backdrops to feats of sporting excellence at the 2024 Games.
The landmark Eiffel Tower had been justifiably hyped ahead of the Games for the picturesque setting it would give to the beach volleyball event.
But there are several other magnificent venues across the City of Light ― from the sprawling gardens of the Palace of Versailles, playing host to the equestrian events and modern pentathlon, to the spectacular Grand Palais for fencing and taekwondo.
Check out some of the most stunning settings at the Paris 2024 Olympics here:
